As some of you may know, my father has Alzheimer’s, and I currently live with my mother for several reasons, one being to help in his care. Now most people know of Alzheimer’s and have these images of what it is like, often fueled by portrayals from movies and television. And while there is some […]
Once upon a time I was me. Then for a while I stopped being me and started being another me. Now the second me was not a happy me and wished he could return to being the first me. After a while me two kind of forgot who me one was, and things really started […]
A HIGHLY UNORIGINAL IDEA Who am I? Who are we? Am I who I was yesterday? For that matter, was I who I was yesterday, yesterday? Are you a monster? Am I a monster? What is a monster anyway? What is important? Is anything important actually important? Am I mad? Are “they” mad? Are we all mad? […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Despite my last post, I have still been struggling a little with that whole get out of bed concept. Reminders need to get from the head to the soul to be truly effective. Yesterday I did my best to actually do nothing … by intent. Not in avoidance, not out of boredom, but to simply BE for […]
Spring is in the air, which invariable causes two opposing reactions in Dichotomous Mister Steve. On the one hand, my lust for life is ignited, and I feel the thrill of possibility in every breath I take. Yet at the same time, this often seems to heighten the shadows I live in, and I also get a […]
